Re: Saturday 25% off all items at Poorfish

I too have made many purchases from Poorfish. A top rate Ebay seller. I have never had a problem with them.

Re: Surgery

Thank you my friends. The withdraw period is over and discomfort is within my tolerance level. I am waiting on the PT guy to show and report progress to Dr. It is wonderful having GREAT friends like you and the ones that have been emailing and send me PMs.

Surgery

Hip revision is done and I am home safe. This is the first time in over 2 years that I am not in excruciating pain. Haven't had any pain meds today and it is wonderful not to have to take any. They pumped me full of morphine and oxycontin while I was in the hospital and had to take a oxycontin pain ...

Well friends it has been a long season for me. Have spent over 300 hrs in a tree since Oct 1. This time last year I had 6 deer in freezer with a heck of a lot less time in the stand. Yesterday was the first day of shotgun season here in Illinois. I hunted Wednesday and took a yearling doe with my Ex...

Less than stellar season

By this time last year I had 4 in the freezer. This year I have had only one shot. I have spent well over 100hrs in my stands and have seen only 9 deer. In a normal season I will see 3 to 15 a day. Took a nice doe. We are 16 inches below normal rainfall and the deer are staying close to water. Unfor...

Re: The spooks were out

I've been considering a ladder stand . . .it's on the back burner again. :) Ladder stands are all I use Scott. Of course I am old and broke down. I have 2 buddy stands and 2 1 man stands. Got my 2 man in prime areas and can move the 1 man as deer movement dictates. The 2 man stands are much more co...

Re: Crossbow Spitfires Opening Out Of Bow

I don't resharpen the blades. It is worth it to me to change the blades and the keeper. I change the blades because I don't want one to open prematurely and it is cheaper than a new broadhead. I do sharpen the point when it won't stick when I drag it across my fingernail. I do the same with my fishh...

Re: Crossbow Spitfires Opening Out Of Bow

Been hunting with 100g spitfires for 3 yrs and never had a premature opening. They are shot from a Equinox and a Exocet. No bands or o-rings.
